Lawn Fun From 3-In-One

Nowadays if you have a house, it’s reasonable to assume you have a lawn, and that means you need equipment to keep it manicured. Unfortunately that can be costly so Gustav Landberg designed one machine that does the job of 3; a mower, leaf collector, and snow blower. The concept is perfect for first time home owners and for people short on storage space.

this is a great concept. I have been thinking about designing a improved lawnmower for an upcoming class project. This is very inspirational. thanks for posting

Theoretically there are some efficiencies in having one power plant for three devices, but the power needs of the three tasks are very different.
My lawnmower and leaf blower are electric, but for serious snowthrowing internal combustion is the way to go. A motor suitable for snowthrowing, gas or electric, would be overkill for mowing or leaf-blowing.
Sorry, Gustav. Keep that one on the drawing board.

Wasn’t this “invented” by a guy on that show American Inventor ? I saw the show for the first time while I was house sitting a few weeks back, and I’m pretty sure some guy had something extremely similar.

If Lorne is right about the snow blower needing too much power, sell it as a fourth add-on that requires a second battery pack. Replace it with a standard third thing that does weed whacking on either side. Man, I HATE to go back and use the weed whacker after I’ve already mowed. I’m sure I’m not alone.

Don’t be discouraged by negativity. This is a cool concept.
